I never thought of that 5 from the wing.

Bucks won't do 360 next year. They will try to get two new faces as they do each season.
As a player there was nobody more giving of his time than NB. He was a lone hand for many years as the face of Collingwood. I've seen him hang around well after everyone else to make sure every kid got an autograph. He's still revered by most magpie fans so he is in a position to really get the mob united behind the team.

In regards to the OP.
If we were were winning people would feel connected to the club. |

On field success will lead to excitement, which will lead to the Magpie Army coming out in force.
It is extremely important that we get off to a fast start in 2017 by beating one or both of the Dogs or Swans in the first 3 rounds. This will lead to the players and supporters starting to believe that we are on the right track and will set us up for the rest of 2017. |

That is a ridiculous thing to say, support your club, support your coach and support your players. |

Ah well. At least in the thousands that will throw their support behind the coach for the next season, it is only compared to a handful who won't.
Go Pies

The move from our spiritual home would have no doubt caused angst among some that's just human nature. Some people dislike change for whatever reason some people embrace change.
Doesn't make either group more right or wrong than the other.
Supporting a club in any code is equal amounts of pride frustration fury joy and all emotions mixed together depending on current performances.
I don't think the Liverpool link is a fair comparison to us really other than the fact Klopp is smart enough to know embracing the clubs fans and history is only going to reap rewards long term. I think Liverpool lost its way when they become a private company owned by Americans who didn't or wouldn't understand that the club was more than a profit or loss centre it was people's lives and history. They never truly gave Dalgliesh the resources to be a true title challenger but just enough to keep him merely competitive. Every time we had good players we seemed to lost them to Europe or another club who would pay more and we could bank extra money. Now they see that there's money to be made being successful and they have opened the cheque book accordingly.
Buckley isn't responsible for members satisfaction other than having a team perform well. Yes it would be nice if he made a bigger effort to acknowledge fans more after games and in press conferences but he is all about business really. Eddie on the other hand should be doing more to create that link to th fans from th Pe club. He is after all our figure head and leader.
Im with the majority of posters when I say I support the club no matter who is coach. 2017 is like very year for me I want us to win games and make finals and if things fall our way win premierships. The club has appointed bucks our head coach for 2017 and I support him along with the club and players.
I'll cheer hard at all times hoping we win and getting shitty and moody and angry when we don't but I will do it all again next week
The emotional part of being a Collingwood supporter really means you are never alone no matter where you are in Australia or the world you can be sure to find some like minded supporter. I know I've met pies supporters in England Europe USA Canada South Africa and every corner of Australia
An old league coach I had back in the day had a saying "one in all in" that's what pies supporters are to me. They are like a brotherhood of like minded people emotional about our team and always looking for the next game
Rude on a side note I've travelled the world over and seen sporting events at many of the great stadium around. The welsh singing at Cardiff arms park, bears supporters at soldier field, 49ers at candle stick park, Yankees at the old house that Ruth built, first morning of the Boxing Day ashes test, Mumbai with Tendulkar batting etc. Being at Anfield hearing the Kopp sing you'll never walk along had me in tears mate. One of the most emotional days I've ever had (to boot we beat Arsenal 2-1). |
You're a lucky boy QM67, to have experienced first hand the Kopp at Anfield, as well as your other sporting journey's around the world. I saw the Yankees win at the old Yankee stadium and have visited Anfield, but alas, I was unable to score tickets to see the Reds play there. Anyway, I agree with most of what you say, but I still believe that the Magpie Army can play a part, however small, in urging our team on to victory and intimidating our opponents. Sure, we'll never again have that fortress, which was Victoria Park, but nevertheless, we should be generating as much passion as possible, to create a fantastic atmosphere for our young players. Imo, Bucks should be embracing this as a means of lifting our team from mediocrity to potential greatness. FFS, with all the shit that's gone down at CFC recently, on top of our previous 3 dismal years, we need an emotional shake up. Come on Bucks, get everyone excited. |

If this is true, then he should have been sacked that week.
Because quite simply, that is idiotic.
And we shouldn't be coached by an idiot. |

I see nothing too special about the supposed divide between fans. It's always there when a club is not competing for a flag. The hate for Malthouse was just as great (I'd say greater as Buckley had an existing fan base) in 2008-2009 and early 2010.
There is some added bitterness due to an ill advised coaching handover of a list at its zenith, and rightly so, it's impossible not to think about how things may have gone without it. But overall, the level of angst is nothing we haven't seen many times before.
Personally I'm very excited for the coming season. We have a talented list and if it can finally stay healthy we're going to be one of the most watchable teams around.
